A quest for a wealth untold
Reaping the fields of gold
A chance to live as a king for every man

Corruption within the state
Political disarray
No freedom or justice for all in the land

Oh
Our rights denied
Oh
Prepare now to fight
So, we swear allegiance, a rebellion to come
A new flag is raised toward the sun

As we stand below the Southern Cross
Brothers united as one
Stand together, a united force
We will all overcome

Renewed by the strength within
The oath sworn the wait begins
In grim resolve for what lies ahead

At dawn a surprise attack
Authorities striking back
The fields of gold now stained with seas of red

Oh
Our people may die
No
They can't take our pride
Oh, we swore allegiance, a rebellion was won
A new flag still raised toward the sun

Though we fought with our honor and pride
We're outnumbered a hundred to one
Defeated, but history showed
We have truly won
